St. Charles Parish Uber Accident Lawyer

For an example, say you had to take your car in for a repair last week. It’s still not ready, so you use Uber to get to work. It’s a short trip from your home in Hahnville to your office in downtown New Orleans. Yesterday, you and your Uber driver had an accident. You hurt your leg and will have to take time off from work. Do you need to contact a St. Charles Parish car accident lawyer?

If you were in an Uber accident, you might have been a pedestrian, in another vehicle, or a passenger. If your accident involves an Uber vehicle in St. Charles Parish, the claims process could be quite complicated determining which insurance covers your losses. Our St. Charles Parish Uber accident lawyers can handle your claim, so you may have the time to heal stress-free. Our Uber accident team can explain your options in a free case evaluation.

You Have a Limited Time to Act

The statute of limitations sets the time you have after a car accident to pursue compensation for your losses. In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for a car accident is generally two years from the day of the accident, per CC Art. 3492. This is the legal deadline to file a lawsuit, but it also affects how long your lawyer will have to build a case and negotiate with the insurance companies.

Most personal injury cases are resolved out of court during negotiations with the insurance companies. That said, if you do not file a lawsuit before that deadline, you may lose the opportunity to collect compensation if negotiations fail. You should also be aware that circumstances could shorten or extend that deadline. Your attorney can explain this further.

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers Can Help You with Your Uber Car Accident

The first step is to have a free case consultation with a member of our St. Charles Parish Uber accident team. This initial, informal chat is confidential, doesn’t commit you to anything, and is completely free. It is an opportunity to assess your case and help you proceed. It will also allow you to ask questions and clear up any doubts you have about moving forward.

Once you decide to become a client, we can provide several services to you:

  • Collect evidence: Our staff and lawyers will compile everything we find from our investigation. We will gather medical records, the police report, and any photos and videos of the accident scene. We will reach out to witnesses for their testimonies, consult with medical professionals on your prognosis, and speak with accident reconstruction experts.
  • Identify liable parties: After our investigation, we will identify who is responsible for your losses. This will be very important in an Uber car accident. The liable party depends on the driver’s status at the time of the accident.
  • Determine a fair settlement value: Part of the evidence we gather will be your financial expenses, such as lost wages and medical bills. We will also determine your non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering.
  • Represent your best interests: Once you hire us, we want you to focus on healing. We will handle filing your claim, negotiating with the insurance companies, and, if necessary, represent you in court.

In addition, we will also be available to answer any questions, explain any confusing legal topics, and advise you on what you should and shouldn’t do. We will keep you informed on the progress of your case.

How Much Will Having an Attorney Cost?

Many people worry about paying for a professional representation. If you decide to use our law firm, you don’t need to worry about racking up a huge bill. Our firm works on a contingency-fee basis. If we don’t win your case, you don’t pay us anything—no hourly rates, no hidden fees, nothing.

Could I Represent Myself?

Representing yourself could be risky if you don’t know your way around the system, especially with an Uber accident case. You will have to devote yourself to preparing your case and be ready to negotiate with insurance companies. You might also not be sure how much your claim is worth. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will help you figure out your claim. We could help you settle your case without going to court.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Are Uber Drivers to Blame for Accidents?

Most Uber drivers do drive carefully. They will pick you up and take you where you want to go safely. But Uber takes advantage of the so-called “gig economy.” Uber does not directly employ its drivers. They are independent contractors who make themselves available to drive passengers. Uber then pays them according to the number of rides they do.

Because they are independent contractors, all Uber drivers must carry personal car insurance. If the driver is in their car, off the app, and in an accident, their personal insurance would take effect. However, if the driver is on the app working, Uber’s insurance policy may take effect.  Drivers might not have the right policy, or they need to have extra insurance.

Uber has commercial insurance for drivers, but the coverage depends on various factors that can complicate insurance claims. Uber provides both comprehensive and collision coverage to drivers. You must report accidents through their app or by calling support. If the driver or rider was injured during the accident, Uber also provides uninsured or underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
